YouTube Video Description↓

We recently went on the NCL Gem's 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise. On day 7, we visited Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. This was our 4th port-of-call and we really had a great time. The entire cruise includes 4 total at-sea days and 6 port of call days including Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cartagena, Columbia, the Panama Canal and Colon, Port of Gamboa, and Port of Balboa, Panama, Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, Harvest Caye, Belize, and Cozumel, Mexico. We highly recommend the NCL Gem and the 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise itinerary if you want to take a cruise. Even at 11 days, we never got bored once, which was our fear. Don't fear it, book it, and enjoy the cruise of a lifetime!! 00:00 Introduction 00:45 NCL Gem Breakfast Discussion 02:34 Exiting the Gem on the Puerto Limon Dock 05:21 Riding the Excursion Bus 05:55 "Pura Vida" 06:44 Puerto Limon Walkabout 11:23 Artisan Center 14:55 Parque Vargas 17:54 Reina's Bar and Playa Bonita 21:39 Fermented Cacao Seeds 25:39 G&E Chocolate Adventure Company 35:29 Parque Vargas Revisited and Oceanfront 37:57 Tip #1 (Short Excursions) 38:55 Souvenir Market 40:25 Boarding the NCL Gem 42:26 Specialty Restaurants 43:15 Tip #2 (Restaurant Reservations) 44:03 Moderno's Brazilian Steakhouse 49:39 Upgrade (Live Music) at Spinnaker Lounge 55:23 Recap/On-deck Tomorrow NCL Gem 11-day Panama Canal Cruise: https://youtu.be/iPyjFSIR1PM NCL Gem's Garden Cafe Buffet: https://youtu.be/UOYmNp2Z9wU NCL Gem's Awesome GLOW Party: https://youtu.be/I5TDGoxyM-A NCL Gem: Inside Cabin Cruise Ship Room Layout: https://youtu.be/Hchr546fvAQ Cruise Room Organization: Accessories You Got To Have: https://youtu.be/-IJWYBofnsI NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 1 Update - Travel and Embarkation: https://youtu.be/ExThQP0d0p0 NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 2 Update - At-Sea Day: https://youtu.be/y9gwREFhMMA NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 3 Update - Grand Cayman Island Excursion: https://youtu.be/kHt78OafozU NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 4 Update - At Sea Day: https://youtu.be/9wkIivV0blk NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 5 Update - Cartagena, Columbia Excursion Day: https://youtu.be/Sqe6ZVCTzaE The Picasso of Cartagena: https://youtu.be/e7lTs23wisw NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 6 Update - Panama Canal: https://youtu.be/Bsb7hmU5dr0 NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 7 Update - Puerto Limon, Costa Rica Excursion Day: https://youtu.be/qCXaXX9oOoo NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 8 Update - At-Sea Day: https://youtu.be/CBD0KnIRoFc NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 9 Update - Harvest Caye, Belize: https://youtu.be/Ky_nxST2d9Q NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 10 Update - Cozumel, Mexico: NCL Gem 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 11 Update - At-Sea Day: #ncl #panamacanal #costarica #cruise #norwegiancruises #travel #travelvlog #cruising #cruiseship ************** As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
